The presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of the American legal system and a right that should not be taken for granted.
Roe Overturned, What’s Next?. Content Warning.
On Friday, June 24, 2022, the landmark Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade was overturned. How will this affect the LGBTQ Community and others, including black, brown, and indigenous people with uteruses? We knew this would happen. It was of no surprise, but we still feel the grief and pain this causes. I’m writing about this not because it’s trending right now but because I’m deeply concerned about this, as it continues to get worse while legislators continue to work hard to ban abortion and contraception.

Echoes in the Rain: The Brighton Boy Who Walked Into the Sea
Brighton, with its salt-laced air and pastel-painted lanes, is the kind of place where mystery feels out of place. It’s a city of seagulls, surfboards, secondhand bookstores, and stony beaches where people gather with fish and chips under striped parasols. But in the early autumn of 2011, just as the summer crowds thinned and the skies began to frown, something happened that would ripple through the seaside town for years to come.

The Empire Crumbles: Diddy’s Dark Reign Exposed as Jury Deliberates His Fate
The air in the federal courthouse hung thick with a palpable tension, heavier than any bassline Diddy ever dropped. After seven weeks of harrowing testimony, graphic details, and a shocking glimpse into a world of alleged depravity, the fate of Sean "Diddy" Combs now rests in the hands of twelve jurors. As of this Monday morning, June 30, 2025, the jury has retreated behind closed doors, tasked with weighing evidence that could send one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures to prison for life. The very notion sends shivers down the spine of an industry once dominated by his seemingly unshakeable influence.

Shadows of the Night
The city never truly sleeps. Neon signs buzzed faintly through the fog, casting fractured reflections on rain-slicked streets. Somewhere in the distance, a siren wailed—sharp, urgent, and relentless. Detective Marcus Kane pulled his coat tighter around his shoulders, the collar turned up against the cold night air.

The War That Wasn’t—Or Was It? The Fragile Line Between Peace and Provocation in the Trump Era
In a world already strained by economic instability, rising authoritarianism, and generational trauma, one phrase seems to echo louder than ever: World War III. It’s a phrase many of us grew up associating with distant nightmares and dystopian fiction. But in recent years, the line between imagined chaos and real-life events has blurred—and one man has stood repeatedly at the fault line of that tension: Donald J. Trump.

Runaway: A Twist of Fate (2009) Review
Considering how the last game ended, I was fully expecting it to start with the great big rescue. Imagine my surprise when it starts with Brian’s funeral. I was further surprised when he was not only convicted of murdering Colonel Kordsmeier but also declared insane and put in a psychiatric hospital. Like, wow, that’s a lot to take in at once. Then it turns out Brian faked his death to escape the hospital to try and clear his name? Honestly, that sounds like something he would do. A welcome twist on the series’ formula is that Gina was much more involved this time. No longer is she a damsel in distress, but a playable character. And her breasts are actually covered for once, thankfully. There is some narrating the past, as per usual, but things do mostly take place in the present time with new, quirky characters.
